HI MODS, having issues with whole hosting thing, logged into my router but unfortunately it does not have an option to select the port under port forwarding, it also asks me an application (lux not listed) and a device.

Here is a page I found. It seems you were in the correct place but you needed to add lux as an application. If you go about a third of the way down this page you will come to:

BT.com wrote:What to do if the game/application is not listed
Create a new game or an application by clicking Manage games and applications from within the Port forwarding screen then follow these steps. You must know the details of your port forward at this stage.

Enter a name for the game or application

To create a variant of a game or application that is already defined select Yes next to Copy an existing game/application then select the game/application in the list

To add a new game/application select No next to Copy an existing game/application

Enter Protocol > Port range > Translate to as appropriate for the rule you are adding

Click Add.

If there are multiple protocols/ranges for this rule repeat steps 4 and 5 as appropriate

Click Apply

Go back to Port forwarding

Select the name chosen in step 1 in the 'LH Game/Application' box and in 'RH Device' box

Select User defined IP address and then manually enter IP addres

Select Add then Apply

For 9. you will need the MAC address for your computer you are playing Lux on. If you need help with that let me know.

For 10. your computer will need to have a static IP address set and that IP address should be used. If you need help setting a static IP let me know.

Don't you mean GG 4times?

I helped a newbie set up his host earlier today, it's pretty complicated

The most complicated part is how everyone has a different setup and there are many different names for the same thing. A quick Google search can usually figure most things out. But I still have yet to be able to host at my parents house. Their router refuses to let me do what I want with it.

There's not much dustin can do on his end. Your firewall, antivirus, router, and ISP all have to allow lux to communicate with the Internet through port 6619 which is where most all of the problems occur.
